Eric Deitering, Outreach Director
Eric is a 3rd year Master of Architecture student at Portland in the role of Outreach Director for HOPES this year.

Through HOPES this year, Eric is most excited to challenge his worldview and gain a deeper understanding of those who see and have experienced it differently than he.
